CSR plc (LSE: CSR; NASDAQ: CSRE) today announced the latest version of
its IPS™ Universal Print Interpreter – the only market-proven software
that supports all major print languages and protocols, including
printing from Google’s Cloud Print and Apple iOS devices. This latest
generation of CSR’s Universal
Print Interpreter software, IPS 2012.2, ensures that printers can
handle print jobs from the widest variety of sources, including desktop
PCs, tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices, on-premise and
cloud-based ERP systems as well as graphic arts and engineering
applications.

Wireless device users and OEMs are placing increased emphasis on the
ability to print from tablets and smartphones, and IPS 2012.2 enables
rapid introduction of printers that comply with new wireless printing
protocols from major wireless device and device operating systems,
including Apple and Google. By incorporating all major print languages
into a single architecture, the IPS Universal Print Interpreter is
designed to provide OEMs with a highly efficient solution that has
superior performance, reduced memory footprint and the lowest
integration cost. CSR’s IPS
software is used by the top printer manufacturers around the world,
including Canon, Epson, Fuji Xerox, HP, Oki, Ricoh, Sharp and Xerox.

IPS interpreters have emerged as the industry’s most widely-adopted PDL
interpreters, and enable OEMs to deliver colour and monochrome printers
and multifunction devices capable of printing complex, graphics-rich
documents without losing time, quality or data.

“IPS 2012.2, on the strength of its wireless-printing capabilities and
ease of integration, has already had significant impact among printer
OEMs,” said Anthony Murray, SVP Business Group, CSR. “With this latest
version, these manufacturers can quickly offer their users the widest
possible number of printing options while making printing from wireless
devices – whether from Apple, Google or others – far easier than ever
before.”
